Wang Ye put on his investigator uniform and filtered through all the simulated information in his mind. Then, he brought Xiao Jiu with him as he left the apartment calmly and headed toward the location of the fog outbreak.
Anping County was shrouded in darkness. There weren’t many neon lights, and it was very quiet.
Even the guards around were few.
The eruption of the fog was very sudden and eerie.
However, just as he walked out, Wang Ye saw a team of investigators walking out from the distant Investigation Corps.
The leader was Xu Hu.
He seemed to be quite prepared.
“Wang Ye? Why are you out?”
There were more than a dozen investigators behind Xu Hu. At this moment, their faces were solemn.
“I felt that something was wrong in the distant sky, so I came out to take a look,” Wang Ye pointed ahead.
The few of them fell silent.
“Something is indeed not right,” Xu Hu was silent for a moment before he nodded, “That’s the dark fog. We received the news half a month ago that there might be a dark fog problem in Anping County, though the exact time and details were unknown. They asked that all senior investigators be more vigilant recently and not neglect our night patrols.”
Wang Ye’s heart stirred.
It seemed that the news had been passed on by the mysterious organization above.
Unfortunately, they knew too little.
Moreover, this would definitely alert the high-level strange god, who had then set up the black-robed man to distract the mysterious organization.
“All of you moved out?” Wang Ye asked.
“Of course, that’s the dark fog,” Xu Hu said in a deep voice, “It’s problematic that the dark fog has appeared in the city! We must solve it immediately. All the investigators from the Corps have moved out. Have you forgotten that the Investigation Corps exist just to deal with the dark fog?”
Wang Ye suddenly thought of something.
According to the simulation where he had battled the high-level strange god, there had been a halo-like arched door in the middle of the dark fog.
It should be a dark fog teleportation door across space, something obviously created by that high-level strange god.
In essence, if they didn’t kill that high-level strange god, they shouldn’t be able to close the teleportation door.
“Wang Ye, you don’t have the experience of fighting strange gods in the dark fog,” Xu Hu said in a deep voice, “So, you go back first. There’s no need for you here.”
Wang Ye looked at them.
The combat power of the strange gods was just strange.
They could absorb the power of strangeness from the dark fog, allowing even the lowest-level strange gods to display very strong combat power.
There was a big difference between these strange gods and those scattered in the secret realms.
However, to Wang Ye, there were all the same.
“Let’s go together,” Wang Ye took a deep breath, “I’m a member of the Investigation Corps too, and an official investigator at that. I’ve even fought with strange gods in the fourth stage of the Yihuang Forest relic, so it’s not like I’m completely inexperienced.”
To become an official investigator, one had to go through tests in all aspects.
From their point of view, this matter was eerie, so it would be very dangerous for Wang Ye to go with them.
However, if the other party was willing, then they wouldn’t refuse.
In the simulation, the Investigation Corps of Anping city had been annihilated.
Later on, Commander Lin Rou died as well.
Right now, Wang Ye believed that he should do as much as he could.
The group quickly arrived at the center of the fog explosion.
The dark sky seemed to have lost all light at this moment.
There was only endless darkness.
In the darkness, a strange gaze would occasionally flash, or some strange shadow outlines would appear.
They surged and scurried as they let out strange cries.
“Song demons, Power UFOs, and green ghosts, all low-level strange gods!” A senior investigator whose eyes were flickering with a mystical light seemed to be able to see through the darkness in the dark fog.
“But there are quite a few of them! There seems to be something hidden deep in the center. Right now, we have two choices. First, we can go straight deep into the fog and investigate the reason for the appearance of the strange gods. Second, we can first stop the dark fog from spreading. Then, we can get the security department’s guards and the army stationed in Anping County to evacuate the people.”
“Personally, I’m leaning towards option two because their numbers are increasing. With just us, if we go in, we might not be able to return. On top of that, we probably won’t be able to find anything for a while,” This senior investigator glanced at everyone.
He seemed to be unable to make a decision.
“I’ll go,” Wang Ye stood out and said, “I’ll go to the center to investigate. You guys stop the dark fog from spreading.”
Everyone was stunned, and they subconsciously looked at Wang Ye.
“I’m very strong,” Wang Ye smiled.
That high-level strange God had yet to appear. According to the simulation, he would only attract the attention of the other party when he appeared and went on a killing spree, killing his way to the teleportation portal.
He couldn’t find the other party by doing anything else.
“These are the strange gods in the dark fog…” Xu Hu said in a low voice, “They’re different.”
“To me, it’s the same,” Wang Ye summoned Xiao Jiu, “Let me give you a brief introduction. My light-type pet, the brilliant light sparrow.”
“Light-type?” Xu Hu was stunned, “Your green sparrow’s new evolved form is of the light-type?”
“That’s right,” Wang Ye nodded, “I won’t say anymore. Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing. My ability to survive in the dark fog is very strong. Let’s go, Xiao Jiu, let’s go in! Use Shine Upon the World!”
Wang Ye brought Xiao Jiu with him and approached the edge of the dark fog that was pervading with eerieness.
This was the first time he had seen the real dark fog.
The extremely strange power made him feel slightly uncomfortable.
Fortunately, he already had a B+ grade in soul growth now, and his spiritual power was strong enough.
The dark fog was like a colorless fog where the light was simply unable to penetrate.
